Hey,
I am using the Plaxis 3D tutorial on suction pile as a base for my project where I am analysing the pullout capacity.
After calculations, how do I get the load-displacement curves? knowing that we did not add the load directly to the pile but as a resultant force.
The figure above shows the graphs I've got.
top left (Mstage vs displacement) and the rest are displacement vs force graphs.
The above graph shows a straight line, which does not reflect reality since there is some resistance before failure.
Basically, I am looking for a graph that shows me the load increments on the y-axis and displacement on the x-axis.
I would appreciate any input
Thanks
